Definitions
- This invention relates generally to multiple panel glazing units including a number of glass panels.
- the present invention relates, in its various aspects, to spacer bars for use in the manufacture of such glazing units, methods for the manufacture of such spacer bars, multiple panel glazing units including such spacer bars and methods of making such multiple panel glazing units.
- Multiple panel glazing units generally take the form of two or more parallel sheets of glass, ie glass panels, which have spacer bars along their outer edges to hold the glass panels the desired distance apart.
- a typical spacer bar is a perforated aluminium or aluminium alloy tube containing a desiccant material to adsorb any water vapour trapped between the glass panels during manufacture of the glazing unit.
- An outwardly facing peripheral channel defined by the outer sides of the aluminium tube spacer bars and outwardly extending sections of the adjacent glass panels is generally filled with a sealant to form an outer seal between the glass panels and the spacer bars.
- the present invention in a first aspect provides an elongate spacer bar for a multiple panel glazing unit which is of toughened glass. This may be used in conjunction with a sealant in a multiple panel glazing unit which allows light to pass through the sides of the glazing panel.
- the sealant may be confined to the edges that juxtapose the panels or may extend over the entirety of the outer surfaces of the spacer bar so filling the recesses defined by the spacer bars and the glass panels with a sealant. The amount of light that can pass into the interior is increased if a transparent or translucent sealant is used.
- toughened glass spacers allows the manufacture of multiple panel glazing units to meet given operating requirements, eg the ability to withstand externally applied forces such as varying differential air pressure of a given magnitude across the unit, with a smaller inter-glazing panel spacing than if glass spacers that are not toughened are used.
- the toughened glass spacer bar may have opposite sides that are chamfered towards a common end surface. This may be used in conjunction with a sealant at the chamfered portions, only, to seal the spacer bar in a glazing panel unit.
- the present invention in a second aspect comprises a multiple panel glazing unit including at least two elongate, spacer bars fixed at opposite sides of the multiple panel glazing unit and between a pair of glass panels, each spacer bar being of toughened glass.
- the spacer bars may be sealed by filling the recesses defined by the spacer bars and the glass panels with a sealant.
- each spacer bar may be fixed in position by adhesive placed between the chamfers of the spacer bar and the adjacent panel, only, preferably a transparent or translucent adhesive.
- the present invention in a further aspect also provides a method of making the spacer bar according to the present invention comprising the steps of providing a length of glass having a rectangular cross-section, forming the chamfered sides by use of a water jet cutter, and applying a heat treatment to toughen the spacer bar in known manners.
- the present invention in a further aspect provides a method of forming a multiple panel glazing unit including the steps of providing a first and a second glazing panel and a first and a second spacer bar of toughened glass, adhering the first and second spacer bars to a common side of the first glazing panel at opposite sides of the panel and applying adhesive to the exposed sides of the spacer bars.
- the spacer bars may be sealed in place by filling the recesses defined by the chamfered portions of spacer bars and the glass panels with a sealant.
- Figure 1 is a schematic end view of a spacer bar according to the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a schematic side view of the spacer bar of Figure 1 in the direction H-Il;
- Figure 3 is a schematic sectional part side view of a multiple panel glazing unit according to the present invention.
- Figure 4 is a schematic cross-sectional top view of the multiple panel glazing unit of Figure 3 along the section line IV-IV.
- Figure 5 is a schematic sectional part side view of a multiple panel glazing unit according to the present invention.
- Figure 6 is a schematic cross-sectional top view of the multiple panel glazing unit of Figure 5 along the section line Vl-Vl.
- an exemplary embodiment of a spacer bar is in the form of an elongate toughened glass bar 2, which may be up to some 2.9m long for some applications, with chamfered sides 4 and 6 with parallel portions 4a and 6a and inwardly chamfered portions 4b and 6b, a top surface 8 and a bottom surface 10.
- the width between the sides, 20mm in this case, is selected according to the desired internal distance between the glass panels of the glazing unit.
- the spacer bar is 12mm thick in this example.
- An exemplary method of making spacer bar according to the present invention comprises taking a bar of non-toughened glass which has a rectangular cross-section and chamfering opposite sides to form chamfers between a top surface of the glass bar and respective edges as shown in Figure 1 .
- the chamfered glass bar is then heat treated to toughen the glass bar in known manner.
- the glazing unit 20 includes two parallel glass panes 22, 24 of 4mm thick toughened glass panes the sectional view being from behind the panel 22 and so is not shown.
- the outermost aluminium spacer bar is about 1 mm inward from the edge of the glass panels and the innermost aluminium spacer bar about 18 mm from the edge of the glass panels.
- the aluminium spacer bars 28 are sealed to the glass panes 22, 24 in known manner with an adhesive tape 30, for example 1 mm thick XtraCryl 1000 polyacrylate film.
- the glass spacer bars 26 are fixed to the glass panels by a UV curable adhesive, eg Bondmaster UV7349 manufactured available from Bondmaster, Eastleigh Hampshire, So50 4EX, GB, and sealed to the glass panels 22 and 24 by a transparent sealant which fills the gaps between the spacer bar and glass panels 22 and 24 formed by the chamfered sections 4b and 6b of the spacer bar 26.
- Suitable sealant include EVERBUILD STIXALL, a chemically curving sealant and Adhesive Sealant Clear available from Winzer Wurth Industrial Ltd, Godalming GU 17 1 NP, GB.
- a pair of glass spacer bars is provided manufactured as described above.
- the two glass spacer bars 26 are located at the periphery of a glass panel 24 by means of a UV curable adhesive applied to the non- chamfered portions of the sides of the spacer bars. This acts to straighten out the glass spacer bars.
- a pair of aluminium spacer bars is located at opposite sides of the glass panel at its periphery by means of strips of adhesive tape. The glass and aluminium spacer bars are positioned and dimensioned to leave a peripheral channel between the glass panes 22, 24 and the spacer bars.
- a second glass pane is placed on top of the glass and aluminium spacer bars and adheres to them by virtue of UV curable adhesive and further lengths of adhesive tape, respectively.
- the weight of the top glass panels holds the components in position until the adhesive and adhesive tape sets after which the glass spacer bars are sealed to the glass panels 22, 24 by the transparent sealant.
- the glazing unit may then be mounted in a between aluminium frame sections at the edges having the aluminium spacer bars.
- a bubble gasket may be adhered to the glass spacer bars to provide a seal to adjacent glazing units in known manner.
- the double glazing unit of Figures 5 and 6 is generally as shown in Figures 3 and 4 except it has spacer bars 40 of toughened glass which do not have any chamfers.
- the spacer bars 40 are stepped further back from the ends of the glazing panels 22 and 24 to define a recess 42 which is completely filled with sealant 44.
- the sealant 44 is used to attach a bubble gasket directly rather than using an adhesive to seal the bubble gasket to the spacer bars as in the embodiment of Figures 3 and 4. This simplifies the manufacturing process.
